Also, bear in mind that the 100m is not Lyles' best event. He didn't even start running it professionally until the past couple of years. Same for Bednarek. Both are 200m specialists.

I believe Noah has only lost twice in the 200m as a professional. That's almost unheard of. One of those, unfortunately, was in Tokyo 2020(21) when he was struggling mentally.

The persona he adopts, as annoying as it apparently is to some, seems to help him be his best. It's weird but it adds some extra spice to the events and I'm all for it.

For fans of form, pay attention to Letsile Tebogo of Botswana. Dude is as smooth as they come. 200m is his best event.

And of course, Kung Fu Kenny is easy to root for!

Oh shit, Jacobs is in this heat? I had no idea he was even running this 100 heat

I love Bednareks Stringer Bell vibe

I'm kind of over his shit talking myself, but I need the US to win at least one of the 100s

Agreed. I really want him to win, but also somewhat annoyed by his comments. 
 

thankfully, he should nail the 200 irregardless of what happens in the 100.

All of these semis are loaded. This last one is no exception. De Grasse, Hughes, Thompson, Omanyala, Kerley ... even Sani Brown is legit.

Anybody's guess as to who is going to win the 100 final in a couple of hours. It is truly there for the taking.

Damn, had to run a 9.93 to make the 100m final

It's not the fastest field ever since it's unlikely we're going to see any 9.6s, but it's definitely the deepest. Total fucking tossup who's going to win. Nod probably goes to the Jamaicans (Thompson or Seville) but they'll have to earn it.

If I had a girl crush it would be her. It’s not just she is fucking super model gorgeous. She is a champion. A real Wonder Woman. I hope she wins gold.

What's with the sleeping bag between jumps?

Typical aggy.  Can’t handle success.

Ah, I just think it came too easy for her, in a way. Maybe the recent disappointments will re-light that fire. And let's not kid ourselves--she would lose to Hodgkinson right now if she hadn't fallen at the Trials. She got waxed and finished fifth in an invitational a couple of weeks ago. She just hasn't been training/running enough.

Men’s 1500 between Kerr and the Noggie is going to be lit.  They fucking hate each other.

Ingebrigtsen is another polarizing figure. He talks MAD shit ... but he mostly backs it up. I think it's a win-win for the sport but there are many who will hate you if you don't give the same, boring, insincere Bull Durham-inspired responses to interviews.

Maybe that’s her thing? Simone meets often with a therapist and other shit. Who cares? My point is: bring it. She is. Simone is. Who cares what you do. If you win it’s part of your stuff to get better. If you lose you are glory boating . Thats why I loved FloJo. She brought it. Bring it and no one cares. Don’t bring it you are just a glorified assclown
